When David Robinson tried to brainstorm a way to get his high school students more involved in the school's annual fall festival, he very likely did not think it would end with his hair and beard dyed a very bright shade of pink.
That is, however, exactly what happened to the 62-year-old social studies teacher from Spokane Valley, Wash., and he couldn't be happier about it.
"I'm just tickled," Robinson told GoodMorningAmerica.com. "My five classes collected 46 pounds of candy. That's a lot of candy."
Robinson and his students at East Valley High School came up with the idea to wager a bet over how much candy they could collect for the school's fall festival after hearing on the morning announcements that a school club was selling pink hair extensions for national breast cancer awareness month.
Take the ABC News' Goes Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Pledge
"One of the kids said, 'Would you entertain dying your beard pink if we brought in 20 pounds of candy?'" Robinson said. "Then it escalated to my hair, and I finally said, 'Here's the deal. I'll dye both my hair and my beard for one week if you bring in 45 pounds of candy.'"
Last Friday, on the final day of the candy drive, Robinson's students' candy collection weighed in at 46 pounds.
On Monday, Robinson, a 24-year military veteran who is retiring this year after 15 years of teaching, showed up at school with both his hair and beard a neon shade of pink.
"They know that, having been an Air Force survival instructor, any time I put my coin on the table I will follow through," Robinson said. "I told them, 'I'm game,' and this is my penance."
Robinson has the good fortune of being married to a beautician who has willingly spray-painted his hair and beard pink every morning this week so he did not have to permanently dye his hair.
"She's been doing it every morning," he said. "I have a funeral I have to go to on Saturday, and I told her I don't want to go with pink hair."
Robinson said that even though candy was what, figuratively, turned him pink, his personal motivation, and the reason he didn't mind sporting the pink look, was to bring awareness to cancer.
Robinson's mother died of Hodgkin's lymphoma three decades ago, when Robinson was in his 30s.
"It was horrid, "he said of watching his mom die of the disease. "I thought, boy, this is the perfect opportunity to do something that I should have done a long time ago."
"One high school teacher doesn't really stick out very much," Robinson said. "But all of a sudden everybody in the high school knows me and they also know about the cause, which is great."
Robinson said he planned to "keep an eye" on the high school this time next year, after he retires, to see which teacher follows in his footsteps by also going pink. He also plans to continue his mission of giving back in retirement, albeit with his natural gray hair color.
"It comes time in a person's life to pay back to society what society has given you, and that's what I have on the horizon," Robinson said.

Three area legislators are hosting free seminars next week to help residents better understand their tax bills and how to appeal property tax assessments.
Rising property taxes have inspired area state lawmakers Sen. Christine Radogno, R-41st of Lemont, Rep. Jim Durkin,R-82nd of Western Springs and Rep. Ron Sandack, R-81st of Downers Grove will host the sessions.
"We continue to push for tax relief for hardworking Illinoisans and through these seminars we are hoping to help residents not only evaluate their tax bill, but also understand how to navigate through the appeal process," Radogno said. "An informed tax base is key to successfully lowering tax bills for Illinoisans statewide."
Durkin said residents who had "stocker shock" when opening their tax bills, who feel their property is over assessed, should attend.
"This seminar is very informative as we reveal the mystery behind the process of how your property tax bill is determined and how to appeal if you believe your assessment is too high," he said.
Both sessions are scheduled for Thursday, July 31. The first is at 10 a.m. at the Lisle Township Tax Assessors Office, 4721 Indiana, Lisle. The second is at 6 p.m. at the Darien Police Department, 1701 Plainfield Road.
At the Lisle session, assessor John Trowbridge will assist in the presentation on how taxes are assessed and how property owners can seek an appeal. In Darien, Theresa Cockrell, the Downers Grove Township assessor, will assist. The Darien location is limited to 43 participants. RSVP by calling Radogno's office at 630-243-0800, Sandack's office at 630-737-0504, or Durkin's office at 630-325-2028.

The minister hopes to rope in the lead actors of the film
In a bid to cash in on the popularity of the thirty year old Bollywood hit "Haathi mere Saathi", the Government today launched "Haathi Mere Saathi" a campaign to conserve elephants with Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh wanting to rope in Rajesh Khanna and Tanuja, the lead actors of the movie.
"This film has had an important contribution towards elephant awareness," he said, praising the narration of a love story between poor Raju and rich Tanu and the effort of the elephant, Ramu to bring them together after they were separated.
"I don't know whether Khanna and Tanuja will agree to it or not. But we certainly want them in the campaign," he told reporters after launching the nationwide campaign at the Elephant 8 ministerial meet.
The Ministry in partnership with the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) launched the campaign to create awareness among the people about the improved conservation and welfare prospects of the elephant-India's National Heritage Animal.

Ptolemy I Soter
Ptolemy I Soter
biographical name(born 367/366, Macedoniadied 283/282 BC, Egypt) Ruler of Egypt (323–285) and founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty. A Macedonian general of Alexander the Great, he and the other generals divided the empire after Alexander's death, Ptolemy becoming satrap of Egypt. Alexander's successors were soon at war. Ptolemy was defeated in 306 by Antigonus I Monophthalmus, though he and the others rebuffed Antigonus's attack on Egypt. He earned the name Soter (Saviour) after defeating Antigonus on Rhodes (304), but Antigonus was not finally crushed until 301 at the Battle of Ipsus. Ptolemy secured and expanded his empire through alliances and marriages. He and his fellow kings won a final war (288–286) against Demetrius of Macedonia, freeing Athens from Macedonian occupation. He obtained control of the League of Islanders (including most of the Aegean islands), which formed the basis of Egypt's maritime supremacy. As king he respected Egyptian culture, blended Greek and Egyptian peoples and religions, and founded the Library and Museum of Alexandria. After his death the Egyptians raised him to the level of a god. He was succeeded by his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus.

I've had plywood cut down at Lowes and at Home Depot mostly just so it fits in my car. Lowes charges for the cuts (not very much) but I don't think Home Depot does. I've had bad experiences at Lowes where one time the guy ran the plywood through the panel saw BACKWARD (totally dangerous) and other times the cuts were so crooked, I had to fix them myself. I've never had a problem with HD.
Usually, I just borrow my dad's truck and buy the plywood in sheets then rip it down with my circular saw or table saw. My circular saw isn't even an expensive brand... its a $30 saw I bought at Walmart. I ditched the blade, bought a good one, and I've been using it continuously for about 6 years! It would be a good idea to invest in an edge guide or one of the new Kreg Rip-Cut guides if you're going to cut it yourself that way the edges stay straight! (I couldn't cut a straight line if my life depended on it!)
Hope this helps!

Warwick police say they have found some DNA evidence that may help them solve the murder of a jogger found dead in City Park last year.
Police tell WPRI-TV the DNA fits the profile developed of an unknown man they believe is responsible for bludgeoning 66-year-old John Fay.
The body of the retired postal worker was discovered in a trash barrel in the park in May 2013. Family member say Fay frequently took early morning runs in the park.
Police in January distributed photos of a sledgehammer they found near the murder scene. They have not said if that hammer has been connected to the crime or is linked to the DNA evidence.

John McCain's second bid for the presidency has become so shaky that Arizona's senior senator is planning a major speaking tour of early primary states later this month to "officially" launch his campaign, while unofficially hoping to make a fresh start, as Tribune writer Paul Giblin reported Thursday.
McCain's political future appears to have reached a critical juncture in the past 10 days as a growing chorus of the once fawning national media is asking if he can hang around long enough to reach the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary in late January. McCain trails former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in most polls, and he raised $12.5 million for the first three months of 2007, compared to the $20.7 million that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney collected.
"There was once an air of inevitability around his nomination and that air is no longer there," Nathan Gonzales, political editor of the Rothenberg Political Report, told Giblin.
Last week's visit to Baghdad clearly backfired as McCain tried to call attention to a recent drop in violence, but Americans only saw him going out in public wearing a bulletproof vest while surrounded by heavily armed soldiers and helicopter gunships whirred overhead. Then on Sunday, "60 Minutes" offered a one-on-one interview that pressed hard to paint McCain as too old and too out of touch with American sentiment on Iraq to compete successfully for the White House.
Only those who underestimate McCain's tenacity are going to be fooled into thinking the senator will make one last gasp and then quietly fade away by early summer. Remember, McCain shocked everyone by becoming George Bush's main challenger for the 2000 GOP nomination when most pundits thought he didn't have the money or the political acumen to attract voters. He got to that point by staying in the race and speaking his mind, even when many in his own party didn't want to listen.
Today, McCain's national name recognition means he always will have a chance in the early primary states as the fortunes of other candidates ebb and flow. And his steady work over the past seven years toward this campaign means he will continue bringing in at least some money to stay in the competition.
As McCain acknowledged last year, the best predictor of his chances lies with the news from Iraq. If President Bush's new "surge" strategy does more than bring a brief slowdown in the death and destruction, then McCain will be hailed for his prescience in repeatedly calling for additional troops to secure Iraq. But if the "surge" fails to deliver a more stable Iraq in the next few months, then McCain will be deeply tied to an unpopular war with no room to maneuver against Republican candidates who don't share his record.

I have a chance to get this cabinet , what would you do with it if you got your hands on this?
It has glass shelves that aren't in it at the moment. It used to be a ruffle cabinet. Would love to get some ideas..Thanks.... |

My DB and SIL had one similar to that. They installed glass shelves in it and have it setting at the end of their hallway with her collection of gravy boats in it. Looks nice! I would think it would be great for any type of display. Grab it! LOL |
I was wondering if I should paint it, or just leave it the way it is?? do you think it would look good done in a cream color or maybe a white??? |

hi well not sure I "should" be answering because i,m a gun enthueist who needs a cabinet and i,m usally against painting nice wood but . nice find if you get it actually the reason I responded was this might be a good time to use some glass etching cream maybe some faux stained glass? there is a blank slate here and a lot of room . if etched then it would lend itself to paint/antiquing. there are a lot of good products out there for one step refinishing. Rick |
Glass etching thats a thought I didn't have. Although I have never done that before. hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm...... |
I needed an etched pattern on my back door to break up the view of the lovely garage! I had painted a wheat motif in my kitchen, so I just made a stencil of the enlarged wheat bundle on cardstock, cut it with an exacto, and sprayed it with frosted glass paint. It is on the inside, so it doesn't get very dirty, but I don't think it would come of super easily, as I had to clean up overspray with a razor blade. My friend did sort of the same thing on her gun case with an all-over lacy stencil pattern, bottled frosted craft paint, and a stencil brush. She did it on the inside of the doors, and it has stood up very well for many years. If you ever decide you don't want the pattern, or want a new one, it is easier to change than real etching, but you get the same effect. |
Thanks Sheryl, If I were to do any etching, I would most likly do it that way, because if i messed up it would be an easy fix.. |
If it were mine, I'd paint it, put some chicken wire in the door and use it to display my chicken collection. :o) |
I did go get it, and it was much nicer then the picture showed, I also ended up giving it to my friend who came along with me to pick it up. she loved it so much, I just had to give it to her. She is going to paint it white, and use it in her huge bathroom to store her towels and such. |

Someone here (DinaBear) redid a gun cabinet into a China Cabinet. It came out pretty cool. I did a search for gun and found it. Old Gun Cabinet thread I tried to post a link to just the picture ... but I guess because it's already posted here it wouldn't let me. Anyway ... this T2T project stood out in my mind ... I know If I come across a gun cabinet for free I wouldn't hesitate to grab it up in a minute. Joyce |
I'll be on the look out for a nother one, and this time I'm keeping it.... |
That's a great use for that cabinet. DH traded for a very rustic cedar one and it goes perfectly in our family room. He originally wanted it for his guns but that made me too nervous, so I've convinced him to put in shelves and he stores his 'collections' of guy junk...cowboy memorailia, rocks, stuff like that. It's got bright brass colored hinges, so we're looking for rusty ones (I might try to faux finish them) to go with the rustic look of the room. I also nailed some rusty horseshoes on the sides and a rusty finish wall hanger thing, it's a row of running horses, along the bottom of the door. |

Northwest artisans are crafting a renaissance in handmade hard ciders
Handcrafted hard ciders are enjoying a renaissance in the Pacific Northwest, thanks to a handful of local artisans and a plentiful supply of specialty apples.
To start, sample some of these
Charles and Rose Ann Finkel (owners of The Pike Brewing Company), Spencer Johnson (my husband) and I gathered for an informal taste-off of 31 Northwest ciders. Here are the winners:
Wandering Aengus Ciderworks Pommeau. $40, Oregon.
Unlike dry, low-alcohol, effervescent ciders, Pommeau is a viscous, sweetly complex, apple-rich dessert wine made of apple brandy aged 5 years in oak barrels.
Wandering Aengus Ciderworks Heirloom Blend Cider. $12, Oregon.
A refreshing, medium-weight, organic cider redolent of ripe apples and brown sugar.
Blue Mountain Cider Company Raspberry Hard Apple Cider. $12, Oregon.
This "rose cider" features luscious ripe-raspberry flavors backed by sparkling acidity.
Red Barn Cider Jonagold Semi-Dry. $11, Washington.
This slightly effervescent golden cider is perfect for everyday drinking.
Red Barn Cider Fire Barrel. $11, Washington.
Served on draft at The Pike Pub, this full-flavored cider resonates with aromas and flavors of apples, vanilla and caramel.
Red Barn Cider Burro Locco. $12.50, Washington.
Hints of cayenne and jalapeño-pepper tease the tongue in this well-balanced, full-bodied cider.
Merridale Ciderworks Cyser. $5 Canadian, British Columbia.
Slowly fermented apple juice and wildflower honey create a cider with pleasant apple-blossom and baking-spice flavors and appealing sweetness.
Red Barn Cider Sweetie Pie. $11, Washington.
Red Barn's sweetest cider displays a pale straw color, fine bubbles and a clean, slightly sweet nose.
Wandering Aengus Ciderworks Semi-Dry Cider. $12, Oregon.
Ripe-apple flavors, a hint of residual sugar, and top notes of ginger and citrus make for a complex, refreshing cider.
First came the coffee craze. Then microbrew mania. Then the wows over wine and the tempest over tea.
Now it may be hard cider's turn to cause a stir, thanks to crafters such as Drew Zimmerman, co-owner of Red Barn Cider in Skagit County's Mount Vernon.
Zimmerman makes about 3,500 gallons of this apple-based beauty a year, which qualifies Red Barn as a boutique cidery — one that creates small volumes of an artisan, handcrafted product. All told, more than a dozen cideries are sprinkled throughout the Northwest, some with catchy names like Bad Seed Cider Co., Sea Cider and Spire Mountain.
For the rest of us, the WSU-Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research & Extension Center offers cider-related classes several times a year. There is even an impressive Web site for dedicated Northwest "cider heads," www.nwcider.org.
My first taste of Zimmerman's Fire Barrel cider was a revelation. Aged in fire-charred Kentucky-bourbon barrels, it picks up that unmistakable bourbon-y nose of vanilla and caramel. The toasty-warm flavors and an intriguing apple-y bite carry over on the palate, creating a complex yet refreshing beverage with 8 percent alcohol, as compared to many wines' 12 to 16 percent.
Cider making is "like making wine with apples," according to Zimmerman. And much like the difference between table grapes and wine grapes, the apples most often used to make cider are nothing like the Fujis or Honey Crisps we eat out of hand.
Instead, they are small, often misshapen, frequently blemished specimens with woolly or woody flesh. They can be so bitter and astringent that Zimmerman says, "Eating them is like biting into an aspirin and a tea bag at the same time."
True cider apples sport romantic names that come from their heritage in southern England and northern France: Porter's Perfection, Yarlington Mill, Muscat de Bernay, Sweet Coppin, Brown Snout and Kingston Black.
Cider makers use blends of apples to create the taste they seek. "One-quarter of the apples are sweet, another quarter are bittersweets and the rest are bittersharps," Ron Irvine, owner of Irvine's Vintage Cider and Vashon Winery, says of Irvine's Blend. "The cider was fermented in plastic barrels, then aged 1 ½ years in French oak barrels. Prior to bottling, I added sugar and yeast, and started a second fermentation that is finished in the bottle, much like Champagne. The cider is dry and creamy with a hint of bitterness."
You can sample Zimmerman's ciders (along with Tulip Valley Vineyard & Orchard wines) at a picturesque tasting room in the Skagit Valley. Look for an iconic red barn surrounded by 4-year-old vineyards and apple orchards.
Red Barn tasting-room manager Jodi Monroe reports that cider is a newfound option for wedding receptions, thanks to its low alcohol level and reasonable price point. She also likes to pair it with Mexican food.
Zimmerman told me that cider was first brought to the United States by English settlers who drank it, instead of water, which could be hazardous to their health. "It was our culture, drunk by our grandparents' grandparents, so we are a full four generations removed. John Adams drank a pint of cider every day for breakfast, and Thomas Jefferson preferred cider to European wines."
Sounds like it's time to raise a glass to the renaissance of this heritage drink.

To activate boost mode, where the gas engine and electric motor work together for quick acceleration, the driver has to be asking for full throttle by pushing the gas pedal through the kickdown detent at the bottom of the pedal travel. However, if the Cayenne is in sport mode (activated with console-mounted button), electric boost comes on earlier, at about 70 percent throttle. Interestingly, the Cayenne never uses the gas engine and electric motor together during light acceleration.
Whether you're in the city or on the highway, the most common situation is to simply use the gas engine. It may not sound that efficient or innovative, but remember that the 3.0-liter V-6 is significantly downsized compared to the 4.8-liter V-8 in the Cayenne S or the Turbo, or even the 3.6-liter V-6 in the base Cayenne. In this mode, the V-6 also drives the electric motor as a generator to charge the battery. By raising the powertrain load, the gas engine operates at a higher rpm and thus higher efficiency. So while more gas is being used, the energy recaptured for later use makes the net energy consumed lower than if the battery weren't being charged.
Brake regeneration is the fourth operation, and a universal hybrid trick that uses the electric motor to slow the car and charge the battery. The Cayenne's calling card, though, is a unique mode referred to as "sailing" by Porsche's German engineers, because it's the translation of their word for "paragliding." In America, coasting or freewheeling is a more familiar descriptor. As soon as the driver removes their foot from the brake, the gas stops flowing and the clutch decouples the engine from the drivetrain, allowing the Cayenne to coast without using gas or electricity and with reduced parasitic drag. Unlike electric mode, sailing works at any speed. Or at least any speed you should expect to see on U.S. roads. Above 97 mph, the gas engine stays on at all times.
A different hybrid driving experience
Less than a mile into our drive with the Cayenne S Hybrid, we're impressed with the powertrain. Why? It's the hybrid that you'd never know was a hybrid. Or, at least a typical driver wouldn't know it's a hybrid. One trip up and down the eight transmission gears, and we're blown away at how much it feels like we're driving a SUV with a only a boosted gas engine. The transitions from electric to gas-only to boost mode to sailing are all seamless, and barely noticeable unless you're looking for them. Thanks to the library-quiet cabin, you won't even hear the gas engine kick on if you have the radio playing at a normal volume. Instead, we had to rely on the tachometer and powertrain display to discern what complexities were happening. We even had trouble identifying when the hydraulic brakes began assisting the regenerative braking, all while staring at an analog gauge that showed exactly when the change happened.

Not only are movies a good way to be entertained when you want to kick back and relax, they are also a good source of tips on management principles.
According to this infographic from Socialcast.com, managers can learn six main management principles from movies like The Incredibles, X-Men, Ocean's Eleven, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more. The infographic says that each of the groups have at least three of the following qualities: unifying purpose, good leadership, defined interdependent roles, effective communication, trust and commitment and mutual respect.
Managers can take notes by watching these hit movies and think of their businesses in a similar way. Of course, it's a bit easier to have a unifying purpose when evil villains are threatening your lives along with the entire world, but try you get the point.

Hi! Moved into my first home in Fresno Ca. 2 yrs. ago and there are massive mounds of bulbs that never produce foliage or blooms. No luck getting an ID from local nurseries. Thought they may just need to be divided and then might produce or maybe divided and planted deeper? Also thought about digging up and throwing away because beds just look empty and ugly with these large mounds. There are some naked lady / amaryllis belladonnas coming up near them and bulbs look similar. Can anyone guess what these bulbs might be or offer advice on what you'd do with these?I'd be so appreciative of any feedback you might have. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would dig them now and divide them. If they did not bloom in the last two years they are not going to. This is the time they would be sending up flower stems. I would wait until the rains start to replant them in sunny locations, out of the way of most of the garden. They will grow foliage over the winter which will die down in the spring completely until the blooms come up with no foliage about the first of August. They may not bloom for a year or two, sometimes even more, if they don't get enough sun. In most soils they get along with just the winter rains, but benefit from some summer water, and no fertilizer is usually required. Al |
Thank you so much Al. I'll do that. Wasn't sure if they were Amaryllis, and wasn't sure how to replant without knowing - seemed strange that they were mounded up so high above ground. But, you're right - not much to lose if they haven't produced in 2 years. Thanks again for helping make a decision. |

When you dig them, clean one off and post a pic, folks here might be able to better judge what kind it is, and how healthy it is. If they are in good condition, you could have a great treasure trove there - just in need of some attention to make it shine. |

No. The proposed plan changes would only affect pension payments initiated after the effective date, which would not be earlier than September 1, 2012.
Each fall, pensioners receive a letter that details the outcome of the post-retirement indexing process. In that letter, pensioners are reminded that pension payments are "guaranteed to never reduce" during their lifetime, and that "in accordance with the rules that govern the Queen's plan, the monthly pension that you are currently receiving will continue without reduction."
All existing pensioners will continue to benefit from the current rules governing the plan.

Huma Qureshi who debuted in the recently released "Gangs Of Wasseypur" as Mohsina, is all ready to take on the experimental road into Bollywood.
After this cult film, Huma is now awaiting release of her next, " Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana", which is a completely different genre from "Gangs..." Starring opposite Kunal Kapoor, besides others in an ensemble cast, "I play a distinct Punjabi girl, Harman who is a first generation doctor and shoulders several responsibilities," she says.
Though this film shares a commonality with "Gangs..." in its humour, the bubbly actress says the differences between her debut and this next film, keep her interested. "This film, "Luv Shuv..." is an unlikely romantic comedy and is the first food film in the industry. Harman hails from a simple family and is quite intelligent, nothing like the somewhat dimwit, starry eyed Mohsina," says Huma, "While "Gangs..." is a cult genre that has brought me a lot of fame for which I am grateful, I loved doing a film like "Luv Shuv..." because I want to try new roles and different genres. I think, if you don't want to, you don't get typecast in the industry."

text: This 55-minute "trip" into the music of the The Grateful Dead is unlike any other celluloid project the group has attempted. Most Dead movies involve an effort to capture the live experience of Dead culture and energy, but they fall considerably short for obvious reasons. Grateful Dead: So Far, is an attempt to make a more personal vision for the fan. Using advanced computer animation and other psychedelic tricks, you will hear and see interesting versions of Dead classics and some rare relics such as {&Rhythm Devils}, {&Lady with a Fan}, {&Throwing Stones (Ashes, Ashes)}, and {&Uncle John's Band}. Directed by Papa Deadhead himself, Jerry Garcia, this film is of great interest to all devout followers of the band, but should also help the neophyte Deadhead to understand the allure of the music. ~ Ed Atkinson, Rovi

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith and Jay-Z are among the big-name investors in a Brooklyn-based beauty line called "Carol's Daughter," according to the New York Post.
The group of movie and music stars invested $10 million in the Brooklyn beauty-products company started by Lisa Price and plan to take the brand nationwide, according to the paper.
The announcement was made Tuesday at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in New York City.
Other investors in the Carol's Daughter cosmetics company include record executive Steve Stoute, who spearheaded the venture, investor Andrew Farkas, Interscope Records chief Jimmy Lovine and Tommy Mottola and his wife, singer Thalia.
"I had seen the product and I thought it was a new category that could be introduced," Stoute told the paper. "Our voice should be able to control and manage it for the marketplace."
Lisa Price opened her first store in Brooklyn in 1999, after years of making beauty products in her kitchen.
A flagship store is slated to open in Harlem this fall, with nine more stores planned in the next few years in cities such as Philadelphia, Atlanta and Baltimore, the paper said.
Pinkett-Smith, married to Will Smith, will become the face of the brand in a new advertising campaign.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) claims that UK operated armed Drones are mainly used for surveillance. However, Afghanis report civilian trauma at the constant droning sound and fear of being bombed by Drones.
It's happened at last. Liam Fox, one of the most gung-ho militarists ever to occupy the post of Defence Secretary, has returned to the backbenches. All the excuses and half-truths his supporters could come up with have not saved him. But his departure will be largely pointless if we don't learn a great deal from the Werrity scandal.
The government's Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) has missed the opportunity to address long-term security problems such as climate change and the root causes of terrorism.
Today's news is that the government regards cyber attacks as one of the greatest threats to the UK's security. This conjures up the bizarre image of Liam Fox launching a Trident missile against a 16-year-old computer hacker just outside London.

In re: Yolanda Ross Summary: Chapter 7 debtor filed an application to waive the filing fee. Trustee objected and argued that when comparing debtor's income to the official poverty guidelines, the Court must consider the debtor's gross income. The Court held that based on the procedures established by the Judicial Conference of the United States, it is the debtor's net income, not gross, that must be considered. The trustee's objection was overruled and the application was granted. |

In re: Ronald Earl and Lisa Marie Stephens v Regions Bank Summary: Chapter 13 debtors sought to avoid the second mortgage on their home on the basis that the first mortgage exceeded the property's value. Regions Bank, the second mortgage holder, moved for summary judgment, arguing that the first mortgage encumbered only the interest of Ronald Stephens and not that of the joint debtor, Lisa Stephens. The Court held that the mortgage encumbered Lisa's one-half interest in the property, leaving no equity to support the Bank's second mortgage. The motion for summary judgment was denied and judgment was entered in favor of the debtors. |

In re: Jerome and Barbara Toppmeyer Summary: Creditors originally received a judgment against the debtors' son. This judgment was recorded and a lien was placed against the son's undivided, one-third interest in a piece of property he shared with his parents. The son sought relief pursuant to Chapter 7 and received a discharge discharging his personal liability on the judgment. The in rem lien survived and remained attached to the property when, subsequent to his discharge, the son transferred his interest back to his parents, the instant debtors. When the debtors filed Chapter 13, Creditors sought to enforce their in rem lien rights and argued that the plan should provide for any unsecured deficiency left after the sale of the property. The Court found that the value of the claim was limited to one-third of the value of the debtors' property minus the outstanding mortgage claim. The Court further found that while the secured portion must be addressed in the debtors' plan, any unsecured deficiency need not be addressed as it was not owed by the debtors. |

In re: Mike and Michele Vallino v Jeffrey and Angela Weeks Summary: Damages awarded pursuant to a state court trespass action were dischargeable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6) where plaintiffs failed to prove that the defendants intended the resulting injury. Pursuant to the Supreme Court's ruling in Kawaauhau v. Geiger, 523 U.S. 57 (1988), recklessly or negligently inflicted injuries do not fall within the scope of § 523(a)(6). Even the commission of an intentional tort by the defendant is insufficient to declare a debt non-dischargeable absent a showing that the resulting injury was intended. |

In re: Javier Muniz v Shahriar S Bozorgzadeh, et al Summary: The plaintiff moved for summary judgment on his complaint pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 523(a)(2)(A) (actual fraud) and (a)(6) (willful and malicious injury). The plaintiff asserted that after a jury trial in the Illinois trial court, an appellate decision in his favor from the Illinois Court of Appeals, and a denial of certiorari by the Illinois Supreme Court, there were no genuine issues of material fact and that he was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The Bankruptcy Court granted summary judgment for plaintiff under the doctrines of full faith and credit, collateral estoppel and law of the case. It held that the state court judgment was non-dischargeable in bankruptcy under 11 U.S.C. §§ 523(a)(2)(A) and (a)(6). |

In re: Kimberly Clemons Summary: Creditor holding undisputed mechanic's lien objected to debtor's claim of homestead exemption. Schedules showed value of both mortgage and mechanic's lien, independently, exceeded value of home. Objection sustained, as homestead exemption allows exemption only for debtor's "interest" in homestead property, and without equity, debtor held no interest under exemption statute. |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We used these programs for a Catholic mass and absolutely loved them! They were a little smaller than most programs we saw which we loved just it was easier for people to fit in their bags or pockets to take with them! We used the whitish background and loved the contrast and extremely bright colors! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and colorful program"
"I was very pleased with the level of customer service on creating these programs for our wedding. Unable to make headers myself, I asked WPD to make headlines and they did and it turned out beautifully. We also love the quality of the paper. We are so excited that this will be the first piece everyone sees on our wedding day."
"Nice selection of fonts. Pearl shimmer paper is great. Thick enough paper without being too thick. Printing quality was excellent. People have seen the program and love it. I, the bride, am quite happy with it, which we all know is what's most important. LOL"
"These programs were perfect -- they matched our invites, reply cards, reception cards, etc. I LOVE how much customization can be done to these cards -- I deleted everything that was in there and put the wedding ceremony details on the left and the wedding party details on the right... then asked if we could print directions to the reception on the back of the program (white print, as the color wraps around)... and they did it immediately at NO EXTRA COST... THANK YOU!!! Seriously in love with these! And when I reviewed the directions and decided that adding bullet points would provide clarity, they did it immediately (also at no cost). Fantastic!!!"
"Wedding Paper Divas has been AMAZING when designing my invitations and ceremony program cards! Not only do they have tons of choice for all types of weddings but they also give you options on the colour to best suit your style! When ordering my invitations and ceremony programs I had a lot of questions and when calling customer service for help I ALWAYS had my questions answered promptly and in a kind and friendly manner. I will most definitely tell friends and family about this easy to use website! Thanks for all of your help Wedding Paper Divas!"

I've installed ubuntu 13.10 RC and now I'm experiencing some high temperatures (I experienced this on 13.04 as well). The temps are higher with 10-15C than their equivalents on windows. My notebook is a Sony Vaio S with nvidia graphics 640M LE
. These temps are as high immediately after installation with zero load.
I tried installing nvidia-current
and nvidia-settings
which after a restart, when I logged in I was presented with a black desktop with just the cursor. After I uninstalled the nvidia packets and did a clean with auto-remove
when I tried logging in again, instead of being redirected to the desktop it kept redirecting me to the login again. BTW, I tried checking the Additional Drivers and it didn't suggest any proprietary drivers to install.
Does anyone have any suggestions with regards to these temps with that model of the nvidia card? If possible I'd like to permanently use the intel card.

Welcome to the NEW and IMPROVED Miller Park Drunk. I'm Chad and I am the new boss (and yes that is me bombin' two Old Styles at once,WHAT). Your prolly thinking "why is this dude in a Cubs jersey who can drink two Old Styles at a time and is obviously a pimp buying a site called Miller Park Drunk? Well, if there is one thing I have learned in my life it's that you don't have to like the Brewers to get drunk at Miller Park! Heck, you don't even have to like baseball! In the history of Miller Park the best drunks have ALWAYS come from Chi-town.
For real though, I been reading this website for awhile and thought it was pretty frickin' funny. I just knew that I could make it better. How? By making it about the Cubs, DUH!!!! So I took some money out of my trust fund and gave that idiot who was running it an offer he couldn't refuse (fifty bucks, a 12 pack of Milwaukee's Best and the issue of Playboy with Sable from WWF.) You Wisconsin folk are so simple.
Things are gonna be a bit different around here now. First order of business is to make up for all the dumb stuff this idiot said before. Like who doesn't like a good retro jersey? My prized possession is my autographed Sosa jersey. I'm not supposed to wear that just because he's not on the team anymore? BITE ME MILLER PARK DRUNK! Did Paul Moliter ever hit 60 homers in a season? Didn't think so! How about Robin Yount? No? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Anyways that's enough for the day I gotta head down to the Cubby Bear for a little pregame before the Cubs WHOOP some Brewers ASS tonight. That's right, Ryan Braun does my taxes. I'll be the dude in the autographed Sosa jersey sipping on Old Style. If you see me come say whats up and maybe I'll give you a little tug off my flask. Jack Daniels? YOU DAMN RIGHT JACK DANIELS.
Tomorrow we should have some more awesome, way better than before stuff including a VERY SPECIAL GUEST WRITER who I think kicks total ass and more stuff that kicks ass. Have fun watching the game tonight, I know I will.
PREDICTION: Cubs 17 Brewers 1. Theriot hits for the cycle.
In case you missed the Brewers game yesterday (and I am guessing you probably did), Alcides Escobar made probably the best play I have seen all year. I described it on twitter as "alcides with a play jj is incapable of dreaming about" and later Al's Ramblings said basically the same thing (I would link to the post but Al has a terrible CMS that won't allow it). If you didn't see it or just want to watch it again, here it is.
Whenever you see a play like that you are awestruck and filled with questions. How did he do that? What was going through his mind on the play? Well, luckily for you I have the upgraded version of MLB.tv which includes a new feature called mind reading which I have transcribed for your enjoyment. Read the rest of this entry »
Remember last year when everyone on facebook was doing that "25 Things" list and then tagging you and trying to get you to do it? Yeah, I never did that. Big League Stew did a baseball related one earlier this year, but we weren't well enough known to be asked (yeah, that's why I'm sure of it). Well, in the interest of always trying different things and lack of any great ideas for our 200th POST we decided to participate. Here's what we came up with.
Alright, that's only 15 but I think that's enough and now you know. Thanks for supporting us for the first 200, here's to the next 200. Check out our article in the Decider. We'll be back later to talk about the newest Brewer and more.
Pretty big series coming up with the Dodgers, but I guess they are all big when you're in a playoff. We should think of a different way to describe this. Difficult series ahead? I mean, it's considered a big series because the Dodgers are good and beating them will be difficult. Either way, I'm nervous about it with Mike Burns being prominently involved (at least he is facing Jeff Weaver, I think the over and under for this game is going to be in the teens). After this it's the All-Star break where our very own Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder will be participating. I'm looking forward to Prince in the Home Run Derby, but also secretly holding out for Russell The Muscle to appear. That'd be sweet. Anyways, here's a few quick hits to get you ready for the weekend.
That's all I got. We'll be back Monday with some cool stuff to keep you occupied when there are no games going on. As for this weekend series? I'd be okay with 1-2, excited for two wins and absolutely ecstatic for a sweep. Honestly, I'm more concerned about the games coming up after the break against the Reds, Nationals, Pirates, Braves and Padres. Those are the ones we NEED to win.
Have a good weekend everybody.

Dundee 1-0 Queen of South: Match Report
Dundee 1-0 Queen of South: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Davidson gives Dark Blues the win
Iain Davidson scored the only goal of the game as Dundee defeated Queen of the South 1-0 at Dens Park to retain a slender lead over Hamilton at the top of the Championship.
Martin Boyle came close to handing the Dee the lead eight minutes in but his right-footed effort was well stopped by Alex Clark in the Doonhamers goal.
After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Davidson found the breakthrough 11 minutes into the second half, powering a header into the top-left corner from Jim McAlister's free-kick.
Boyle had the chance to wrap up the game for Dundee in the second minute of stoppage time, rushing through one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but once again found Clark equal to his effort.

The British-based grocery chain Tesco hasn't opened a single store in the Valley of the Sun, but its officials are already stepping up plans to cover the area with their markets.
In February, the retailer announced its intentions to open 20 stores called Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market throughout Phoenix, Las Vegas and California. Tesco officials recently added seven stores to the roster.
"These are the initial stores that we have in the pipeline," said Simon Uwins, Fresh & Easy's chief marketing officer. Uwins said officials foresee over 50 Fresh & Easy locations throughout the Valley over a period of years.
The company plans to carve out a market niche in the crowded Arizona supermarket industry by focusing on fresh, low-cost and healthy food sold in small neighborhood-centric stores that are similar in size to a Trader Joe's, Uwins said.
Also key to the firm's expected appeal to customers is a heavy emphasis on convenience. For example, the company plans to offer ready-to-go meals for families, which is an industrywide trend.
The company said it could employ about 700 workers within the company's first year of operation and may eventually build a distribution center in the area that could employ thousands.
Tesco is the world's third largest retailer.
Whether or not the neighborhood market format will be successful in the sprawling suburban meccas that dot the southwest should become apparent fairly soon after the first store opens, said Mindy McBain, a senior staff writer for the industry trade publication the Shelby Report.
"I would say probably within six month we'll have a pretty good indication," she said.
Even if Fresh & Easy isn't a raging success, McBain said Tesco is not likely to give up on North America.
"They have plenty of deep pockets."
McBain said the company's biggest challenge is likely going to be distribution as they are used to working in smaller geographic area.
"With the vastness of America ... that's going to be important to them," she said.
Mike Proulx, president and chief operating officer for Bashas', said whenever a new competitor enters the market, it puts other industry players on edge. On top of that, Fresh & Easy is trying something unique in their approach. "That will certainly attract the consumers' attention for at least a while," he said.

The first fat-bike race in the Edmonton river valley let Caitlin Callaghan feel like a kid again. Riding on the bikes with the super fat, seven- to 12-centimetre tires feels like riding on an air mattress, an inflated tire tube or a bouncy castle. At least, that's according to fattie fans who have already developed appropriate calluses on their butt cheeks and sit bones, not to mention the numbness that comes from riding in the cold. The number of fat-bike enthusiasts is growing, with more adults commuting on fat bikes year-round rather than basic mountain bikes. The wider, softer tires give added stability and allow riders to float over compact snow or gnarly dirt paths in nicer weather.

I have a Louisiana Sweet orange tree that's gotten big enough that I left the oranges on it this past spring after it bloomed. They've been growing gradually since then, and are now about the size of average oranges, but they're still green. When should I harvest these oranges? Will a freeze, light or hard, make the fruit inedible, so I should pull them off before a freeze? I've had my tree for about ?4 years - it was about 3' tall when I planted it. It's lost some leaves every winter from our occasional freezes, but the branches don't die back, and when spring comes, it just makes new leaves to replace the old ones, plus lots of new growth.
I'd like to harvest the oranges at the right time. Sherry |

Sherry, I don't have a definate answer, and hope someone chimes in, but if you pick fruit when unripe, especially since oranges are green, they won't ever ripen, 'off the tree.' On average, citrus are picked around Nov-Dec. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck, Toni |
- Posted by misssherry Z8/9MS (My Page) on Tue, Oct 21, 08 at 10:31
Thanks, Toni! Louisiana oranges and satsumas show up in the grocery stores around Christmas, but last year I left two oranges on the tree, picked them around Christmas, and they were bitter. We had had a light freeze, so I wondered if maybe the cold temps ruined the juice. If we have a freeze before mid-December, I think I'll pick some before it occurs and leave the rest to see what happens. Hopefully, there won't be any freezes before December, giving them plenty of time to ripen. Sherry |

I've heard that where the stem meets the orange, that when that turns brown the orange is ripe. Have 4 orange trees and the oranges are either orange or almost orange so I would like some advice on when to start picking. |

Php function called in javascript?
This is probably a daft question but I'm new to javascript and really struggling!
How can I call a php function from javascript?
I've written a piece of javascript code so that a form pops up and a user fills in lots of inputs, which is passed to javascript to check.
But, the function to pass all the input variables is written in php - how can I do this?

JavaScript is purely a client-side language. As such, it is executed after server-side (PHP) execution. The only way you can call a php function from JavaScript is through an AJAX request. Though to do an AJAX request that would send the form's contents from JavaScript to PHP and then have them returned to JavaScript in the same format is rather pointless. Just collect the information in JS instead.
The way to success is to assume that there are no impossible things. After all, if you think something is impossible, you will not even try to do it.

Summer time and the living can be even easier with pitcher cocktails.
Whether mixing up a batch of margaritas for friends in the backyard or ordering a round of mai tais for the table, pitchers are a good way to rethink drinks for a crowd.
At Spoonbar in the wine country town of Healdsburg, Calif., bar manager Scott Beattie -- author of "Artisanal Cocktails" -- knew early on that he wanted to serve cocktails by the pitcher. So he ordered a Kold-Draft ice cube machine capable of making big, dense cubes that keep drinks cold without diluting them.
It's also efficient. With the cubes and a really big shaker, "it takes just about as long to make one drink as it does to make five," he points out.
At Philadelphia's Square 1682 restaurant, one night a week is dedicated to tiki cocktails and they've introduced a new tiki pitcher cocktail: Kama'aina Punch.
The drink blends gin, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, coconut syrup, pineapple juice and black cherry puree and can be given a little extra sparkle with the addition of prosecco.
"Everyone loves a pitcher," says Anna Schneider, general manager. "It's social, fun, basically happy hour in a bowl."
Young Lee of the Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant and Lounge in Las Vegas makes a refreshing cucumber cooler with vodka, fresh lemon sour, white cranberry juice, simple syrup and cucumber puree.
Want to mix up your own jug of good cheer? We have some suggestions.
Two classic summer cocktails -- mojitos and margaritas -- inspired this pitcher cocktail. The lime zest ensures intense flavor to contrast the mint.
>Minted Margarita
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup water
Zest of 4 limes
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons agave nectar
3/4 cup triple sec
2 cups blanco or silver tequila
Sliced limes, to garnish
Flaked sea salt, to serve
In a blender, combine the mint leaves, water, lime zest, lime juice and agave nectar. Blend on high until the mint is very finely chopped. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. Discard the solids. Stir in the triple sec and tequila, then chill.
To serve, moisten the rim of cocktail glasses with a piece of lime. Dip the rims in the salt. Add ice to the glasses and pour the margaritas. Garnish with slices of lime. (Recipe by Alison Ladman)

Lemonade and flowers -- two sure signs of summer. So we combined them in this refreshing floral-infused lemonade. If chamomile isn't your, er, cup of tea, feel free to substitute another herbal variety.
>Lemonade in Bloom
4 cups water
2 cups sugar
4 bags chamomile tea
1/4 teaspoon dried lavender
2 sprigs fresh basil
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup elderflower liqueur
1 cup vodka
1/2 cup gin
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
In a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Add the chamomile tea bags, lavender and basil. Steep for 10 minutes.
Strain the tea mixture through a mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Add the lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, vodka and gin. Chill. Serve over ice garnished with basil. (Recipe by Alison Ladman)
>Rooibos Relaxer
This red tea is punched up with fruity accents and a bit of rum. Adding the bubbles � in the form of lemon-lime soda � to each glass as you serve it means not worrying about the whole batch losing its fizz.
8 bags rooibos tea
3 cups water
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 cup peach schnapps
1 1/2 cups light rum
Lemon-lime soda, to serve
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the tea and water. Heat until simmering, then remove from the heat and steep for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a serving pitcher, combine the pomegranate juice, pineapple juice, peach schnapps and rum.
When the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags, squeezing to release any extra tea. Pour the tea into the pitcher and stir. Refrigerate.
To serve, fill tall glasses with ice. Fill the glasses halfway with lemon-lime soda, then top with the tea punch mixture.
